that there is no place in the worl(
like Paris for art study. The same
may be said of medicine, only il
this branch four years of hard, pre-
paratory work are necessary fol
taking the French NJ. ID. 1t is 6
popular joke that those medical
students who come to Paris for a few
months study in special courses
and nonsense Of that sort, only
succeed in forgetting the little med
ical knowledge which they had al
ready picked up in the Unite
States. The great advantage which
Paris offers to medical students
over Vienna is that everything is
free, whereas, in Vienna the fees
are decidedly heavy. In any other
branches of study Paris offers per-
haps no better advantages than
other European capitals.
There is no doubt that a pro-
longed residence in the Students
Quarter is a moral strain against
which very few Americans have re-
sisted. 1t seems very delightful,
but it is none the less dangerous,
and man needs lots of back bone
before coming over here.
People talk about the mild win
ters here. and the therm ometer con-
firms their statements, for the nier-
curry rarely sinks below the freezing
point. However, in these matters
one prefers to trust to his feelings,
and | can state positively from ex-
peience that a Paris winter to a
student in one of these old hotels
is a very serious matter. tits SIM
ply continual abomination Of
three months duration. The damp
ness penetrates to the very bones,
and, what is worse than all, you
never get thoroughly warmed. They
consider a room hot at CO., and so
is not uncommon. The result is
that you are chilled in going out,
and so feel the cold much more
keenly. You naturally try to get
your room warmer, but you can't
do it. The more coal you put in
the CRATE the more the heat flies up
the chimney. The factis, the houses
in the old portions of the city are
not made at all for comfort. They
are simply places to eat IL and sleep
in, and then to get out of as soon
as possible. They are not homes
at all. The French don't have any
homes, they don't want any. The
cafes are good enough for them, or
the theatres or balls or anything at
all outside. The result is that they
have built the most splendid and
eautiful city that the world can
show, when you look only at the
outside, but they have left the in
side, the particular place where an
American wants to live comfortably,
at least hundred years behind the
times, and as to the Latin Quarter
we'll. New York clerk in a cheap
downtown clearinghouse has
palace in comparison to the quar-
ters of the average student. Plumb
ing? They have no conception of
it, and the odor which comes up
from most CT these court-yards
would make an undertaken smile
Bathrooms? Not any, and you
have to hunt up public establish
ment when you wish for such a
luxury. Hot and cold water, ele-
vators, carpets, gas, windows that
are properly fitted, speaking-tubes,
call-bells, etc., have not arrived yet
in the Students Quarter. In a
word, n young man who intends to
live among the Paris students has
need of virtue and patience and
plenty of warm winter flannels.--I

II am left handed only when ]
drink" said a gentleman in the Cir
ard house saloon the other day
THAT is" he explained, ''if drink
out of a beer glass or any glass or
mug with a handle | take it in my
left hand. | do that because every
body, as far as have noticed, used
the right hand, and so | keep my
self free from infection and possi-
bly, of a sore mouth" But, see
here" Suggested his friend" you for
got that conscientious fellow with
a sore mouth would do as you do
drink with his left hand, and
thus you run a greater risk" The
left-handdd drinker was evidently
puzzled at this new aspect, and
paid for the drink with troubled
air. 1t hurts to have theories
knocked endwise.

"Yes, this is pretty hot weather.
said an old inhabitant this after
noon, "but you ought to have ex-
perienced the heat here in '69.
WHY, it was SO hot that summer
that specie melted in one of our
prominent banks, from 800, 900
down to $4,000, and that made it
so hot for the cashier and two book
keepers that they melted and ran
away-to Canada. But it is a
strange thing" the old gentleman
continued. though they melted
and ran away, they never liqui-
dated. d."-Pittsburg Press.

In order to show how cheap it is
possible to live here, if a man has
grit enough to stand a certain
amount of hardship, l will mention
the case of one of my personal
friends who assures me that during
the year past his entire expenses
have not at any time exceeded 70
francs per month. AS a general
thing, American students in Paris
spend for what might be called ne
cessities, from $4OO to 5000 a year,
and what they spend beside that in
the way of luxuries their respected
fathers only know.
